B-2 Engine Auxiliary Inlet Door (EAID) PBL
The U.S. Air Force is seeking industry feedback to develop a Performance Based Logistics (PBL) support strategy for the B-2 Main Engine Auxiliary Inlet Door (EAID) and its subcomponents, aiming to improve supply chain efficiencies, material availability, and depot throughput. The contract is anticipated to be a 10-year Long-Term Contract with a five-year base and one five-year option, structured under a single product support integrator with performance measured by metrics like material availability, reliability, and on-time delivery. The B-2 Spirit is scheduled to remain in service through 2058, and current EAID depot constraints are impacting 100% of scheduled aircraft Program Depot Maintenance. The government is requesting responses to this RFI by 22 July 2026, with feedback sought from the OEM, Northrop Grumman Corporation, to help shape the strategy. No specific budget amount or performance location is mentioned in the description.
